Union Pacific has committed to a $1.2 billion investment to upgrade its rail infrastructure across the western U.S. The upgrade includes modernizing rail tracks, expanding cargo terminals, and adopting advanced signaling systems to improve safety and efficiency.
The investment is expected to significantly boost Union Pacific’s cargo capacity, allowing the company to better handle the increasing demand for freight transportation, particularly for agricultural and energy sectors. This move is part of the company’s long-term vision to enhance the resilience of its supply chain network and ensure the timely delivery of goods across the U.S.
